Abstract
Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (PTCL, NOS) have poor prognosis and, in most cases, lack driver actionable targets for directed therapies. Here we identify FYN–TRAF3IP2 as a recurrent oncogenic gene fusion in AITL and PTCL, NOS tumors. Mechanistically, we show that FYN–TRAF3IP2 leads to aberrant NF-κB signaling downstream of T-cell antigen receptor activation. Consistent with a driver oncogenic role, FYN–TRAF3IP2 expression in hematopoietic progenitors induces NF-κB-driven T-cell transformation in mice and cooperates with loss of the Tet2 tumor suppressor in PTCL development. Moreover, abrogation of NF-κB signaling in FYN–TRAF3IP2-induced tumors with IκB kinase inhibitors delivers strong anti-lymphoma effects in vitro and in vivo. These results demonstrate an oncogenic and pharmacologically targetable role for FYN–TRAF3IP2 in PTCLs and call for the clinical testing of anti-NF-κB targeted therapies in these diseases.

Data availability
DNA and RNA sequencing data that support the findings of this study have been deposited in the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP), (phs001962.v1.p1), and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), GSE138416. Previously published datasets that were reanalyzed during this study include RNA-seq data from individuals with AITL and PTCL, NOS in dbGaP (phs000689.v1.p1) and in the Sequence Read Archive (SRP029591), as well as RNA-seq data from mouse AITL with RhoA G17V in the GEO (GSE83918). We performed GSEA with gene sets available in the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB), https://www.gsea-msigdb.org/gsea/msigdb, and T. Gilmore’s NF-κB target database (Boston University; http://www.bu.edu/nf-kb/gene-resources/target-genes/). Source data are provided with this paper.
